Design Topic 6: B-A-N-A-N-A-S

The winner of this challenge was Adriannauk. The design was elegant and beautifuly illustrated. The pose was great and the satin fabrications were fabulous. The draped back of the dress was unique and the colors were the bomb! Congrats!

OUT: jadexx http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/29384930/ We were stunned by this design, but for all the wrong reasons. Admittedly, jadexx's work has been exuberant and over-the-top, but I was fully expecting that she would tailor that point of view for Gwen Stefani. Frankly, the hot pink textured fabric that served as the mainstay of the design was exuberant enough. Add to that the fishnet and diamond collar and we were confronted with "a hot mess".

SomethingMinty: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/29394890/ SM had a proud showing. ier charcoal jersey dress was diademed, thereby giving it a depth, richness, and understated elegance. That given, the design itself impressed me with two innovations: pieced, bias cut inserts comprising the skirt and an open weave of maron ribbons constituting the top's straps. I loved that her "basic" silhouette was anything but.

lashanathao: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/29358349/ We were a little suprised with the fabrication choices. The plaid on the dress was HORENDUS! What were you thinking? (No offense.) The lemon colored leather was over uesd. We were worried about this design. We want our lashanathao back! WAAA!

Pkdesigner: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/29406720/ The fabric choices were great (what origanality) and the cuts were SO Gwen. The jewlery was a bit...over the top and expensive looking for Gwen...but all in all the design was impressive and complete. the overall look exuded classic elegance, not costume. Pkd, this was a clear contender for the win.

HalaS: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/29417531/ The design was definatly bold! The fabrics were exquisite and you took risks...which payed off in your favor this time. A definate improvment...but maybe vulgarity is your statment because the bust was a little...small. Even for Gwen. The look was dynamic, yet delicate.
